If you’re a big fan of shootouts, Thursday night’s game between the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks wasn’t for you.

The Seahawks defeated the Bears by a final score of 6-3. It was arguably the ugliest game of the year. In fact, the only real highlight was the chant that broke out at Soldier Field. During the second half of action, a “sell the team” chant was caught on camera for the entire world to see and hear. It’s pretty evident the fan base in Chicago is fed up with owner Virginia Halas McCaskey and the rest of her family.

Virginia Halas McCaskey inherited the Bears after her father, George Halas, passed away in 1983. The McCaskey family has received plenty of criticism in the past for the way it operates this business, but there has never been any indication that an ownership change is on the table.

Unfortunately for Bears fans, Thursday night’s “sell the team” chant probably won’t spark much change. All it really does is show how fed up the fans are in the Windy City.

The 2024 season will go down as an incredibly disappointing one for the Bears. There was a ton of preseason hype surrounding the franchise due to the arrival of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

After a 4-2 start to the season, everything came crashing down for the Bears. They’re currently on a 10-game losing streak. If they don’t defeat the Green Bay Packers in their regular-season finale, they’ll have to wait until September to end this drought.

Despite how brutal things have been for the Bears lately, Williams keeps trying to be as optimistic as possible.

“Frustrating, annoyed but learning I would say,” Williams said following Thursday’s loss to Seattle. “I definitely think this is going to be good for me. I’m excited about this last game and excited about the future.”

The Bears will need to hire a proven winner at head coach in order to convince their fans that next year will be much better. Until then, fans will be hesitant when it comes to buying the hype. They’ve already been burnt once before.
